Eligible projects should focus on bench-based cancer biology research with solid rationales derived from literature review, bioinformatic analysis, or unexpected findings from other projects. The goal is to empower creative junior researchers to take the first step on highly innovative, feasible proposals that would otherwise remain unexplored. Priority will be given to projects that clearly outline a path toward translational research applications or real-world cancer treatment advances within 6–12 months. Projects are expected to meet at least one of the following criteria: Demonstrate a strong potential to generate reliable data suitable for a first-author publication, helping the applicant secure career-transition funding for an independent academic career in translational oncology. (Submission to the ResearchHub Journal is strongly encouraged for rapid publication and broad visibility.) Demonstrate a strong potential to generate preliminary data that could support startup initiatives aimed at improving cancer treatment, thereby facilitating early-stage investment opportunities. Rationale Despite significant investments in cancer biology and drug discovery, cancer remains a largely incurable disease, causing approximately 600,000 deaths annually in the US and ~10 million deaths worldwide. Junior researchers often face pressure to align with their mentors’ established research areas, forcing them to abandon creative ideas in exchange for project approval. This practice severely limits the potential for breakthrough discoveries in cancer treatment. Although $5,000 may not fund a full-scale research project, with thorough background research and access to existing laboratory resources, a motivated PhD student or postdoctoral fellow can generate meaningful preliminary data that highlights the significance of their innovative ideas. This opportunity is intended to help junior researchers make a strategic move toward securing additional funding or investment for their future academic labs or startup ventures. Funding $5,000 in ResearchCoin (RSC) is available to support this initial iteration, which may include data collection, laboratory analysis, reporting, and personnel costs. Disclaimers and Open Science Commitment Preregistration: All selected applicants must preregister their study protocol on ResearchHub to be considered for funding. Open-Access Data Sharing: By participating, applicants agree to share all data generated through this research in an open-access repository. This ensures transparency and facilitates the scientific community’s engagement with the findings. Preprint: Researchers are encouraged to publish a preprint of their findings on ResearchHub. Progress Updates: Researchers are encouraged to share regular updates (e.g. monthly) and will receive ResearchCoin tips for updates shared.
